How does one find out the latest version of the Windows Update Client?
Reading around, it seems the state of things at Microsoft has changed drastically since W10 was announced.
Most frighteningly they changed the name of the updater and left this article to depreciate
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/949104
"Note The latest version of the Windows Update Agent for Windows 8.1 is 7.9.9600.16422. The latest version of the Windows Update Agent for Windows 8 is 7.8.9200.16693. The latest version of the Windows Update Agent for Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Windows XP is 7.6.7600.256."
Horrifyingly that is still the top result for Windows Update Client because everything sucks.
Anyways so from my understanding, it seems that reinstalling windows 7 will result in the updater trying to update to 7.6.7600.320 which is a horrible update that eats memory and takes three times longer to update.
So one should manually update the updater to the latest version before doing anything on a fresh install of windows 7. But where is one to go to find the latest version? Microsoft seemingly helps with this but does not, and instead deceives as I have explained above.
Anyways, is there a better way than using google to search these forums to find out? https://www.google.ca/#q=latest+clie...ion/&tbs=qdr:m
